NEW DELHI: Yuzvendra Chahal is making headlines both on and off the field, with the Punjab Kings spinner posting a congratulatory message for RJ Mahvash on Instagram, reigniting dating rumours that have been swirling around the duo for a long time.
In a now-viral Instagram Story, Chahal shared a poster from RJ Mahvash’s recent show with the caption, “Congratulations @rj.mahvash proud of you.”
The heartfelt message sparked a frenzy among fans, who were already speculating about a possible relationship between the two.
The timing of the post, coming so soon after Mahvash’s own tribute to Chahal, only added fuel to the fire.
Earlier, RJ Mahvash had praised Chahal’s stunning performance against CSK with the comment, “God mode on kya? Yuzvendra Chahal strength of a warrior sir.”
The post quickly picked up traction, not only for celebrating one of the greatest spells of the tournament but also for what fans interpreted as a personal, admiring tone.
Chahal’s match-winning spell at Chepauk was nothing short of magical.
With CSK in command at 177 for 5 in the 19th over, the leg-spinner turned the game on its head. He dismissed MS Dhoni, Deepak Hooda, Anshul Kamboj, and Noor Ahmad in a single over, finishing with remarkable figures of 4 for 32 in just three overs.
It was Chahal’s second IPL hat-trick and his record ninth four-wicket haul in the league — the most by any bowler in IPL history.
The performance not only cemented his legacy but shifted the spotlight toward his personal life, especially as fan speculation around RJ Mahvash continues to grow.
On the field, Chahal has been fantastic this season, having amassed 14 wickets in 11 matches and played an integral part in Punjab's successful season so far.
